- Delay: Both digital and analogue options. They are MIDI syncable and pannable. The digital side is based on the Lexicon PCM42 with guidance from the original engineer and the advantage of better CPU and memory. The analogue uses BBD circuitry for a warm tone up to 820ms.
- Reverb: The digital reverb is based on the Lexicon 224. Meanwhile, the spring reverb uses two 17″ tanks equipped with EQ and a digital pre-delay section.
- Modulator: First, a quadrant multiplier Ring Modulator with modern chips and then a vintage-style harmonically rich transformer and diode-based one. There’s a reference oscillator with attack and release envelope to control the pitch similar to that on the Yamaha CS-80.
- Chorus: Two distinct BBD chorus lines with manual control and the classic four-button chorus presets.
- Phaser: An analogue OTA-based 12-stage phaser and an optical phaser.
- Insert/Resonator: The Insert lets you patch in external effects or use it as extra inputs and outputs. The Matrix can patch it into any part of the signal chain. The Resonator adds some subtle EQ and can be animated for extra movement.
- Overdrive: Everything from warmth and texture to screaming distortion from Korg’s Nu-Tube technology.
- LFO: A bunch of LFOs that can be routed all over the place.
